Binaural beats are perceived sounds; in other words, they are not real, except to your brain. How do they work if they are unreal, then? It triggers the brain responses at a irresistible level, and can train your brain to do anything that it might otherwise find difficult to accomplish on its own.

The binaural beats are scientifically created to stimulate a desired response, at a frequency that normal humans cannot hear. The brain creates the binaural beat from the tones that are supplied, based on different sound hertz that is detected by your left and right ear, allowing the brain to turn the difference in hertz into a beat. This beat can have a relaxing effect on the mind, or promote alertness, depending on the actual difference.

Binaural beats were first discovered in 1839 by an Associate Professor, at the University of Berlin, who accidentally discovered that two similar sounds that are slightly different in frequency cause a pulsation or beat type effect within the brain when given separately to the left and right ear. However, it was Dr Gerald Oster who discovered in 1973 the benefits of the binaural beat on the mind and body.

Binaural beats allows you to be able to enter instant deep states of meditation, and can also reprogram the subconscious mind. Binaural beat recordings at specific frequencies utilize a mix of audios to alter the listener’s brain activity. By bringing you into this state of meditation, binaural beats can induce positive changes in your emotional, mental and physical make-up. The beats are also able to restructure your neural network and raise your “comfort level”, reducing stress levels.

This meditation is a hypnologic trance, which is a deep meditative state, and usually requires a lifetime to perfect. The changes in brainwave patterns are translated to changes in chemical reaction within the body. This works together with positive affirmation to improve your personal development, heal emotional issues and phobias, and create behavioral changes. They are also able to bring about energy boosts similar to that received when the body rests.

Other benefits of the binaural technology include access to your subconscious mind. Binaural technology allows you to create deep states of meditation, eliminate stress, boost your intelligence and create behavioral changes. All this can be done with little to no effort, other than putting on the earphones and listening.

It can eliminate negative thoughts in your subconscious, removing negative emotions even from your memories, without affecting them. With the many varied uses of binaural technology, it is not difficult to pick out when that will suit your needs, be in personal improvement or as a stress buster. The possibilities are limitless.
